Leicester City Match Betting News
Leicester City shocked the world last season by claiming the Premier League title against all odds and although asking the Foxes to replicate the feat will be very unfair, one can be sure that Claudio Ranieri’s men will be looking to prove their doubters wrong once again.
Rather than spending mindlessly due to their status as champions, Leicester have made a couple of sensible investments in the form of Nampalys Mendy, Bartosz Kaputska, Ahmed Musa and Ron-Robert Zieler and while they may not win the title this season, one can expect the Foxes to challenge for the top six.
People can only underestimate Leicester at their own peril though and Leicester will be hopeful of continuing on their fine run from last season by claiming the Community Shield title with a victory over Manchester United on Sunday.
